►Living animals in widely separated lands are similar.
For example India and Madagascar have similar mammals, which are quite
different from those in Africa, even though it is now near to Madagascar.

►Fossil plants in India, South Africa, Australia,
Antarctica and South America are similar to each other. This so-called
Glossopteris flora is quite different from plants found in other parts of the
world at the same time.

►The same applies to fossil animals.

►There are numerous geological similarities between
eastern South America and western Africa.

►Apparent Polar Wandering: Paleomagnetism tells us how far from the poles rocks were when they formed, by
looking at the angle of their magnetic field. The story told by different
continents is contradictory, and can only be explained if we assume the
continents have moved over time.

There are ridges in the floors of the main
oceans.

Paleomagnetism shows that the sea floor has
spread away from these ridges. Distinct patterns of stripes can be seen in the
magnetism of rocks on either side of the ridges.
